7 Wildlife Would you let a Wombat use your bathroom… Wildlife Rescue South Coast Inc. – 0418 427 214 Contributed by Richard Woodman (“Woody”)
Recently I had a call to rescue a Wombat from a local Community Hall. On arrival I found the Wombat had jammed itself in a cubicle inside of the toilet block. Being an inwards opening door, once the Wombat entered the cubicle, it was unable to get itself out. With a whole lot of time on its hands (paws) it then decided to redecorate the whole cubicle as shown in the photos. You will see it ripped the cistern off the wall, ripped all of the plastic plumbing off the wall, ripped the toilet roll holder off the wall and finished with ripping the toilet seat from the toilet bowl. All of this without using a sledge hammer or crow bar. Once I eventually removed the Wombat from the cubicle to an area outside, I was able to conduct a brief examination. It appeared to be a healthy Wombat (25kg approx.), fully alert, without any sign of injury. After a very short time, it decided to “do a runner” around the other side of the Community Hall and straight into a small entrance leading underneath the building. Apart from getting a plumber in to repair the damage, there will be a further project, to recover and relocate the Wombat from underneath the hall.

FORGIVENESSby Georgia Carr & Susan MacFarlane from Heartcentre
The quality of forgiveness helps you journey of forgiveness, sometimes postponing dissolve the barriers between you and it until on one's deathbed – serious postponing! peace, between you and joy – between The key to forgiveness is to move into the depth you and freedom. Forgiveness is not about of your heart where you will find a willingness assessing who is right and who is wrong. to be with yourself in a loving way, and then Forgiveness is about clearing your own being. to bring into your loving heart whatever the If you think about it deeply, probably the last pain, guilt, blame or shame may be – and in person in the world that you would want to the presence of that love gradually dissolve and stay energetically connected to is the very release it. Forgiveness is such a fundamental person you hold most resentment towards, but quality to help us live in the present with joy and actually the lack of forgiveness ensures we stay is a wonderful tool to help us restore harmony negatively connected to a person or event in our within ourselves and in our relationships. thoughts and memory. Forgiveness is often misunderstood as letting someone ‘off the hook’. And yet forgiveness frees you from the entanglement, so that you are not living with resentment and a lack of peace. It is not about turning a blind eye – you may still need to move away from a situation or person. Forgiveness does not make an action acceptable, you are forgiving the person so you are not caught in the torment of blame, and you therefore can free yourself to move on. For forgiveness to have integrity it means following it up with a heartfelt commitment to not repeat the same behaviour to oneself or others. When you hold the intention of clearing your energy, begin with asking yourself: What do I need to release, and do I need to use forgiveness as a means of releasing or letting go in order to return to my natural state of being which is one of balance and joy? If you are withholding love and forgiveness from yourself then your capacity to love others is also impaired. Forgiveness is bringing the vibration of love, the vibration of healing to your circumstances, now. There are many ways that the small-minded self can use to justify postponing the healing 19 BAY & BASIN COMMUNITY RESOURCES (BBCR) Sanctuary Point Youth and Community Centre First Harvest Swap BBCR had community members attend the SPYCC share and swap some amazing plants and produce including limes, lemons, oranges, parsley, coriander, mint, cabbages, kale & free range eggs. There were also strawberry plants, lettuce plants, bush tomato plants, oregano plants, garlic chive plants and frangipani to give away. The project is funded by the NSW Government through the Department of Community Services. BBCR Community Breakfast Was held in September and all the community members who attended had a great day. BBCR would like to thank the JB Lions Club for providing the food on the day, which were free egg & bacon rolls, yoghurt, fruit & muesli. There were over 120 community members attended over the two hours to learn a bit about sustainable gardening, make seed ʻbombsʼ, tin can planters and take part in outside active yard games. BBCR Home Grown Express Garden Workshops This project has focused on teaching families edible gardening and has included creating community garden beds at Sanctuary Point Connect and creating individual planters for families to take home with the assistance of BBCRʼs Bay and Basin Menʼs Shed. BBCR have assisted familiesʼ members to learn about creating healthy soil, how and when to plant, seed collecting, composting, rotating crops and pest control. The project has also linked these families up with Clifton Park Community Food Garden, who welcomes all new members. During workshops children have been cared for by Sanctuary Point Connect staff & undertaken their own garden themed activities including making bird feeders & helping with planting. Next term BBCR looks forward to a new range of workshops focused on how to use seasonal produce - including preserving and healthy cook ups! These projects are just some of many Community and Home Support programs offered by Bay & Basin Community Resources.

In 1962, my daughter Pyree was really an active village in those years. Kaye (now Hilaire) was an entrant in the Queen Competition supported by the woodchoppers. When Artie died in 1965, the complex was named Artie was the chief organiser of the fund raising after him. He was on the first committee and with others.

Kaye was working by then, but that for the first time in the best part of a century, we seemed to do it all. My husband had to work all first grade cricket matches in the district could 34 Monthly Feature be played on a turf wicket each Saturday. And while it is now close to a decade since any turf cricket has been played on either of the two Artie Smith Oval wickets at Bomaderry, first grade cricket in the Shoalhaven since 1964 has always continued to be played on turf after being given the opportunity to do so when these wickets were first opened. As Val Windley wrote in her letter, there was great excitement over the turf wickets at Bomaderry. Not only could all first grade cricket matches be played on turf pitches, but so could some lower grade matches, something that the smaller outlying rural centres like Cambewarra, Pyree and Tomerong were able to benefit from. They had all wholeheartedly supported the fundraising ventures for “The Oval”. In fact, Kangaroo Valley Cricket Club entered one of its most successful eras in the next two decades that followed the opening of these wickets on “The Oval” at Bomaderry. It took responsibility for the preparation of the No. 2 Artie Smith Oval, or “top wicket”, and in the 1971/72 season, won its only ever first grade premiership. In comparison, Berry Cricket Club continued to struggle as a first grade entity during the same period until it gained its own turf wicket on a ground in Berry.

Another Teen Queen from the 1960s Lyrebird Sports Festivals was Mrs Sandra Webster (nee Higham). She continued to have an involvement in junior cricket long after her children had moved on from matches played at Bomaderry. In the 2005/06 season, due primarily to her role as the recorder of all junior cricket in the district for well over 30 years, Sandra became the first woman, and only the tenth person, to be made a Life Member of the Shoalhaven District Cricket Association since its formation in 1892/93.
